Matilija Painting

I paint the expression of a place or an idea; I try to identify and understand what I wish to say in my artwork, and then I begin, keeping this expression foremost in mind. My abstracts are rooted in my career as a landscape architect, and I completed many urban public works projects in Northern California. My other designs and paintings begin from imagination. My artwork focuses on subjects most intimate and familiar to me: cityscapes, landscapes, memory paintings or derived from nature.
